Within the business community, public and private organisations, and the professions communication is associated with the more specific activities of interacting, informing, instructing and persuading. People who possess demonstrable skills in these activities are employed, prized and promoted. If businesses are to survive in an increasingly competitive and information-oriented environment they will need trained communicators. This unit provides participants with advanced understanding of professional business communication and develops their skills in interpersonal, spoken and business related communications through practice and feedback. Unit participants will be encouraged to participate actively in the course through their group presentations, reflections and academic writing.
